Hello Sandra,odd, I didn't mind January at all this year: There was plenty of snow and that was a pretty sight even on dull and dreary days. Apart from that there's always crochet ;-) I do wonder what you're up to with that lovely granny square...Have a great February!MarjanP.S.: That book makes one (err... me) eager to discover what it's about "Le language des fleurs..." - sounds like something ethereal, dreamlike...

So nice to see you visit, Marjan! I had started these popcorn pattern granny squares before I came across your lovely design and window hanging! I have already made three of your flowers though and start the beautiful leaves today!The book shown is a translation from English "The Language of Flowers" by Sheila Pickles. Inside the book, each page is beautifully illustrated with reproductions of coloured paintings and poems or legends. When I first received the book, the pages were slightly perfumed. A lovely discovery!

We had a bit of everything in January from snow to rain to wind and sunshine! I do like it when winter is really a winter! February has started mostly grey and misty - but apparently it's about to change!Thank you for your visit!

How warm and cozy and calming. I love how you fill the winter months. It's gray here today and a snow storm is in the forecast for tomorrow...will be a long while before we see signs of spring. Winter hibernation does force one to find creative outlets!

Hello Susan! So you're in for more snow - but it looks so beautiful, especially out in the country where you seem to live! Here in town it gets a bit mushy and grey, and slippery, after the initial snowfall.I do love this snug time of the year for doing things indoors. Creative outlets, yes!

Your plan to stay snug at home sounds wonderful! A good book and candles make the cold days much more bearable. I agree with you, the cold days are a great excuse to do the things you love. I can remember making the crochet squares when I was little. :)

Warm and snug is good and crochet is a wonderful and creative thing to do. I only learnt how to do it when I was an adult and expecting my first child. I've been impassioned in this art form ever since! Thank you for your visit, Michelle!

This is such a warming and cheering post. We had snow yesterday and are expecting more tomorrow, and I've got a good book and the ingredients for a stew that will simmer all day. I can't wait! Whatever your crochet project turns out to be, I love those colors!

It sounds as if you're all prepared for the new snowfalls, Lee! A good book and a nourishing stew. Perfect!Thank you for your visit and for your comment. I will decide as I go along what I want to do with those crocheted flower squares!

Wonderful things to make what can be a very long month, bearable.January flew by for me, and it was relatively mild weather-wise. Serious lack of sunshine though, and so seeing all the beautiful color here, is a real treat.Thank you!

You've found the perfect way to enjoy a winter's day. I don't crochet much anymore, but I do remember it's relaxing rhythm. Oh, I love those pretty scissors. I have a soft spot for pretty scissors, they seem to keep coming home with me! I'm staying warm and cozy with soft music and a jigsaw puzzle. Although we haven't had much cold weather. Yesterday, 80 degrees and this morning, 29 degrees!! Here in Arkansas we never now how to dress!

Thank you for visiting, Cathy, and for leaving a comment! I am just like you for pretty scissors... and I have three different pairs for my handwork and I love them all individually!It sounds as if you've found the perfect way to keep snug at home also: soft music and a puzzle!
